Thanks Gdads51, I did some searching windlace retainer install last night but all the hits I opened were for the seal installation. This is exactly what I need.

Thanks Klhansen, I don't have a whole lot to replace so hopefully won't have to deal with too many bugger welds. I think the hardest part will be me being able to see down in the channel. My eyes aren't what they used to be.

Thanks again everyone
